Of course we need Robert's buy-in for this.
If the new meta-data system is going to support all osg::Object derived classes, then all we need to do is just wait until it is complete. I think the bigger issue is being able to support older versions of osg and older formats like .osg/.ive. How about adding all the material descriptions to the root node of the model? Each material would have a separate entry in the description list of the node. This would require no changes to osg and would support the older model formats. We would just need to add the material name to the description string. Example: # osgmaxexp material info Material Name # Maps Diffuse 0 images/diffuse.jpg 100 Bump 1 images/bump.jpg 80 Does this seem like an acceptable solution? Cheers, Farshid
